Sinn Fein and how do they form a government dilemma

Writing character references for individuals are brought before the court everyday.

Yes, and they are the subject of controversy because they are presented in an attempt to get leniency for serious crimes.

Nobody should be writing references for either convicted abusers or those under investigation for abuse.

If they do they should face sanction.

I corrected a poster on what he claimed. Nothing more.

SF's are citing this as more waste alá the bike shed and the security hut.

What you or I think it should cost is immaterial.

I would expect anyone with reasonable intelligence would know the figures were per capita, how could it be anything else.

Being top of the list per capita is a good achievement.

we ve been over this, we ll never agree, only time will truly tell, noting, current and past government housing models have been way off actual requirement, in regards housing, hence our current situation, so…..

government projections have been no where near our requirement, and for a considerable amount of time, this is in accordance to respected commentators such a ronan lyons etc, this has been the case for many years, since pretty much the last crash, some saying our deficit is now closer to 250,000 units, best of luck with trying to achieve that in a hurry!

and again, this is no longer a dublin centric problem, but a more serious national problem!

there clearly needs to be targeting, since this focuses resources, and creates goals, but as you can see, ffg and their supporters have no interest in admitting their current and passed failures in this one, they want to keep projecting some sort of potential possible utopic future, which may happen, but i somehow doubt, not quickly enough anyway…..

The projections were based on the ESRI.

The issue is they were made off of 2016 Census figures to estimates as of 2020.

Over the course of 2020, it did not look like we were heading for barnstorming migration but the mid point was taken in estimates.

What ultimately has happened is that it looks like the high end of 2040 projections will be met long before 2030.

33k is still actually a lot of homes as as demonstrated is leading in Europe per head. Ronan Lyons is respected but he is not infaliable. He is only as good as his assumptions and what he assumes is huge shrinking of household size and also a lot of replenishing of stock required. On the former we will absolutely see household size decrease but that doesn’t mean that we don’t get to affordability quicker.

Not mentioned in his analysis (outside of his correctly pointing out that we need studios, one and two beds) is the household capacity point. We have the most under lived in stock in Europe. It is not ideal for people to be house sharing but stock is stock.

On obsolete housing, I’d point out that things like retrofitting have to be considered in any housing analysis. It is a major intervention in our existing stock and the critical point on obsolescence is the degree of ongoing capex put in. A housing model will struggle to accurately capture this.

It is helpful to consider this in an overall Europe context.

The challenges we have faced others are only seeing the beginning of.

If you go around Europe in the last 18 months you will see that in places where there has been massive inflation in rental costs they have struggled to stop supply declining. That did not happen in Ireland as the State stepped in and assumed a larger role.

This needs to be discussed more widely but unfortunately we have people continuing to gaslight the public over housing. I am actually concerned because we are driving private capital away and are now incredibly reliant on the State.

Why are you quoting a post about housing and mentioning IFAC?

Because you were trying to blame ‘people’ when in fact this government is being taken to task by their own watchdogs and agencies. What ‘people’ are saying reflects that.
Keep spinning but it seems more likely it’s you ‘gaslighting’.

It is helpful to consider this in an overall Europe context.

Helpful? In what way?

Why would MoN be responsible for a HR mess up if a Minister here is not responsible for a mess in his/her dept?

If you are happy with the ‘lessons learnt’ verdict here why can SF no say the same and move on?

I said before maybe you should sit this out. Again and again you have sought to contain blame when it comes to the government and when it is SF blame automatically goes to the top every time.
It just downright hypocrisy.

I said if they have done wrong.

They have like every single political party here and in the world done things wrong before and likely will again.

HR responded the the BHF and didn’t inform the leadership. That is a process dault that needs correcting. The oerp is out of his job and tge two who wrote the references are gone.

The BHF have their iwn questions to answer too.

Had it happened in one of the parties here you would have, going on your form, been distancing the relevant minister from responsibility like you did most recently with the Minister responsible for the OPW.

That’s pure and simple hypocrisy. That’s the ‘culture’ of no accountability you stand over here again and again.

Again, if MoN has done wrong she needs to step down.
